8. Use the clamp assembly (30) to secure the workpiece
wherever possible.
9. It is possible to remove the clamp assembly by loosening
the clamp assembly lock (23) and moving it to the other
side of the table. Make sure the clamp assembly lock is
tight before using the clamp.
10. Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the

11. Hold the operating handle (3) firmly and squeeze the
switch trigger (16). Allow the blade to reach maximum
speed.
12. Press the release latch (17) and slowly lower the blade

Compound mitre cut
A compound mitre cut
involves using a mitre angle
and a bevel angle at the
same time (Fig. s). It is used
in making picture frames, to
cut mouldings, making boxes
with sloping sides and for roof
framing. Always make a test
cut on a piece of scrap wood
before cutting into the good material.
1. Pull on the release knob (2) and lift the saw arm to
its full height.
2. Loosen the mitre lock (15).
3. Rotate the mitre table (12) until the pointer aligns with the
desired angle on the mitre scale (13).
4. Retighten the mitre lock (15).
WARNING.
Be sure to tighten the mitre lock before making
a cut. Failure to do so could result in the table moving
during the cut, causing serious personal injury.
5. Loosen the bevel lock (7) and pull out the 0º bevel
adjuster and move the saw arm (1) to the left or
right to the desired bevel angle (between 0º and 45º).
Tighten the bevel lock (7).
6. Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge
securely against the fence (11). If the board is warped,
place the convex side against the fence. If the concave
side is placed against the fence, the board could break
and jam the blade.
7. When cutting long pieces of timber, support the opposite
end of the timber with the side bars (29), a roller stand or
a work surface that is level with the saw table.
8. Use the clamp assembly (30) to secure the workpiece
wherever possible.
9. It is possible to remove the clamp assembly (30) by
loosening the clamp assembly lock (23) and moving
it to the other side of the table. Make sure the clamp
assembly lock is tight before using the clamp.

The laser is factory set to emit a laser line along the middle
of the blade. It cannot be adjusted by the user.
